If you are in China traveling and can get to Xiamen, make sure you put this restaurant on the top of your list. It is a MUST if you want to enjoy great Indian Cuisine and wines from someone who knows both. Being a person who enjoys food tailored to my taste, I often make sure John is around (which... More

Brilliant experience. I don't go to this place because it is the only Indian restaurant but they serve great food with amazing service. If the restaurant is not crowded and John (owner of the restaurant) is around, he personally takes care of his customers and also provides the customized recipe dishes which are not listed on the menu card. Overall... More

After working in the aviation profession for the past 30 years I have been fortunate enough to visit many places worldwide and eat at many fine restaurants. Over time I have learned that I don’t care overly for Indian food … that is until now. I was on business in Xiamen for two weeks and had the pleasure of going... More

Over the last four weeks, I’ve scheduled four dinner events here. Each time Special ordered Raclette Dinner for between 8-15 people at the ‘Hall in the Wine King Downstairs’. WOW! EACH TIME OUT OF THIS WORLD! You'll know John when you see him, an Indiana Jones type hat, generally GREETS you quickly, VERY PLEASANT person. Normal dinner (if that’s possible),... More

This place is like heaven for Indian in Xiamen. Indiano serves amazing quality & taste Indian food. I was not feeling that I am outside India. He matches the Indian taste completely. John also spends good time with all the visitors and show his magic tricks. I am gonna definitely visit this place again and again.
